What do you believe they'll do when the majority want to remain in the UK?

Independence movements tend to be quite tenacious.

That's like saying what will Republican voters in the US do if the Democrats win (or vice versa).

What you lot seem to forget is the SNP's unprecedented landslide victory in the last Scottish elections.

That's not neceesarily a vote for indepenence but it was a clear rejection on the status quo and Westminster based parties.

No it's not. Once you're out, you ain't coming back in. You nats will have to deal with any unionist resentment on your own.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Because there will be no point in further discussion of independence that will never happen.

It's not remotely helping the economy just now.

I'll go further.

It's arguably selfish wasting so much time, effort and money at present on a referendum that is highly unlikely to lead to independence. The Yes campaign should do the decent thing and call off the vote so we can go back to our lives.

Continuing the fight, and expecting other people to waste time/effort/money debating against them, AFTER the country has voted to remain in the UK is beyond selfish.

yes but after 5 years they get to vote the other way

If the YES lot manage to get their way with the dream of the workers rpublic of scotland then we won't be able to go back in 5 years so its not even vaguely similar

We arent Canada and the difference is the Majority in England would be extremely relaxed about you going. If it fails this time there will be I suspect a clamour for whole UK voting next time to stop this idiocy once and for all!

As I have said before if the Nationalist want this lets ALL vote on it, I am sure we can have you gone before hogmanay.

Works for me!
I suspect however the referendum will have a century clause in it, along the lines of "ps off dont bring it up again for 100 years"

That way it will mobilise the vote and hopefully get everyone out to put an end to this bullst!
I'll take that bet on the century clause.

The independence referendum is directly reducing the level of employment and investment in Scotland?

Who'd've thunk it.
